 | For some reason, the yarn smells like dishwashing liquid. I am at a complete loss about why this is, since I don't ever recall the yarn being around such a substance. |

Squeaky Clean
I was reading Grumparinas blog about sniffing yarn when I got the urge to stick my nose in the middle of the Claudia's Handpaints yarncake from the Jaywalkers I am currently working on. I almost puked.
It's driving me crazy but now I can't stop smelling it and immediately being repulsed. Has anyone else encountered this? Is it my mis-handling or can it be the dye/process?

Dishsoap...that's it. I have some Claudia's Handpainted too and have been trying to figure out what the smell was. Yeah, I don't like it so much either.
Oh the Webs sale. I have been torturing myself over the Cathay!
Ewww. Ok, now I don't wanna buy any Claudia's... vinegar I can understand (from dyeing), but dishsoap?
Yeah, we've noticed that too, definitely. Some colors are worse than others, and we've notified her about it. She's, you know, working on it.
I'm pretty sure that when you eventually wash your socks, you won't require any soap. :P
A lot of hand spinners use dove liquid soap to get the 'grease' out of their wool. It works wonders. If she then died it though, you'd think it would smell like vinegar. But, I'd guess that dishsoap probably WAS used. As long as the yarn is colorfast, you can always wash it with your fav, shampoo after your done, and it should smell like that instead... or keep it with some nice smelling soap!
